Breckenridge

If you want to hit the slopes or go hiking by day, but still be back in town in time for a brew or a show, Breckenridge is always a good bet. Explorers found gold when Breckenridge was founded in 1859. Today, this historic mining town is pushing for something new: world-class skiing, an extensive network of trails, festivals, and events. Some of the best skiing and snowboarding near Denver can be found in Breckenridge. The price is right and you won’t have to shell out for pricey mountain winter accommodation if you’re visiting on a winter day trip.

At Breckenridge, all four seasons offer the best of activities, both outdoors and indoors, and much more fun. The resort town of Breckenridge itself also offers plenty of shops, art galleries, and tasty restaurants. If you do decide to stay overnight instead of heading back to Denver the same day, then Breckenridge Ski Resort offers plenty to do any time of the year.
